The OOFFG is distracting from a great shot.

That's beautiful and getting it halfway through eating something really adds a lot to the shot. I think that the tail appears to be just creeping out of focus and the Oof grass stem is a pity, but it's still an excellent shot, that I would be very pleased with if it had been mine.

Shame about the oof grass stem, but for me it does not detract much from a brilliant shot.

it is a shame about the oof grass but still a lovely shot I can appreciate how difficult these can be to get a clean background to

Hi Ian

Very nice - I don't mind the OOFBG too much as this is how we see them most of the time and the smooth OOFBG are hard to find and for me the forum is about 'nature photography' as much as photography.

Hello Ian.

Super capture and great to have the damsel doing some thing, I also like the setting and the perch is very nice.

minor nit mentioned Ian, but you did very well to capture it mid-meal which really adds to the image. Very nice.
